[QUOTE="Chase723, post: 1515928, member: 21524"] I was just making the point that there is a point of decreasing returns on your investment, that tons of money doesn’t always equate to a vastly superior product, and that essentially 100% reliable can be relatively affordable. My furthest shot to date is 1367 yards and never once have I felt like I needed better glass, a better system, more reliable turrets, or more magnification. The reality is that most of the time I shoot somewhere between 10-12x so that I can spot myself, which seems to be a common finding amongst other long range shooters. 0.3 Mils=~1 MOA. Personally I switched from MOA to Mils because the numbers are smaller. For example that 1367 yard shot was an 11 Mil correction vs a 38 MOA. That really doesn’t matter at all though so long as your reticle and your adjustments are in the same units (Mil/Mil, or MOA/MOA) The average hunter likely isn’t looking to shoot beyond 400 yards, let alone 600-1000, so knowing your equipment and your system whether MOA or Mil matters a lot.
